I switch between cm7 and 9 often and, at least for me, cm7 is wayyyyy better for battery life.. like darn near double.. I really notice it with the "screen off" time with cm7.. it idles and just sips battery all night if I forget to plug it in
[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
Keyphrase, other devices. Our developers are following suit in an attempt to not make the line between nightly and RC murky for CM7. RC0 was the first stable release inducting it into the line of devices which officially premiered in CM 7.2 in it's early stages RC1 ideally will be it's last and final stable release with 7.2 being fully pushed out the door essentially, with no further modifications being done to it at a source level on the gerrit in a uniform matter. 7.2 is a value pack/WIP for devices being dropped of official CM9 support. Many legacy devices won't have a shot at it due to lesser hardware than what the Galaxy S line currently possess. LG, Moto, HTC alike. They've a standard of performance and usability which determines what can be maintained and who will do as such.
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
Yeah I hear you most development for older devices stopped last year for CM7. I simply hope there will be anctual final release were everything works no bugs at all including led colors etc.... and after that then they can dev the **** outta CM9.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zeinzu:
In all honesty they can dev whatever they want. They aren't required to keep development going for cm7 or for cm9. We're just lucky they are so dedicated.

[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
Of course but I feel just bcause something newer comes out that doesn't mean stop development, i say continue what you started then go to a different project after upon completion.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ultro:
Is switching between the two as easy as wipe and flash? Currently getting horrible battery on the CM9 beta0 and was thinking going back to CM7 for now. Unsure if there are any more steps I should take.
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
well kinda just wipe everything is all so to go back just Wipe all 3 things, then flash rom, gapps, then if you want custom kernel if you run them. but before anything always nandroid
[Epic 4G Android Development] ÜBER™:
It would be cool if you could make those "cherries" an addon or flashable for cm7 beta1 so I don't have flash your full ROM :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
From alpha to Release Candidate while skipping beta? That would be a hell of a jump... Release candidates are, as their name suggests, candidates for final release (as in, more bug free than the best beta)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
Well he had a point, cm7 had already gone alpha to beta and was at RC0 status months ago....then there where the night lies....now its back to beta1 .... when it got to RC0 that's when it became official on CyanogenMod and added to Rom Manager....just read the title of this thread RC 0 .....funny timeline
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
A release candidate is usually the last beta (if it becomes a successful candidate). The nightlies are experimental builds on top of that RC, meaning they contain new (alpha, if you will) features, but the overall rom does not regress to alpha status. The timeline still fits.

CM9 has only just reached the first beta stage, and the first beta rarely, if ever, becomes the first RC beta. It is not impossible, just highly unlikely. I only intended to point out that the safer assumption would be that a couple betas will appear after the alpha stage, before the first RC
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Most of us assumed the RC0 in the thread title stood for Release Candidate 0 and would move to RC1 next with the nightlies aiming it that way. Not many thought RC0 meant Not Even Alpha Release Candidate 0. The explanations are even more confusing than the title changes. RC should have never been in the thread title.

If you follow the instructions HERE you will get a zip that is titled...

update-cm-7.2.0-RC0-epicmtd-KANG-signed.zip

That tutorial is syncing the cm7 gingerbread branch. If you change the branch to gb-release-7.2 the resulting zip you get from the build will be...

update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-epicmtd-KANG-signed.zip

---------- Post added at 09:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:06 AM ----------

This is possible. For example, if you wanted the option for overscroll glow color it seems you could pick the framework, CMParts apk, and ThemeChooser apk from my 031312 build that has that option built in and add it to the B1 release and the feature would work.

I personally can't imagine what the B1 build has that a clean KANG wouldn't, but then again, I haven't looked either. ;)

I will look at making a zip tonight if I can get away from the wife. :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] ÜBER™:
Nothing against your ROM just got my cm7 setup and saw you had a new kang and like your add ons and didn't feel like flashing a fresh new rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lownox:
That's cool. Please don't think I was pushing my builds. :) KANG builds always have the latest merges... thus more up to date than nightly 45 (where the build-bot stopped)

The cherry picks are changes that haven't been merged yet... picked from here... review.cyanogenmod.com

Hopefully, I am not stating the obvious. ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
I looked through some of the info provided, but I have one question: The only issue I have with CM7 is the video recorder. It doesn't auto adjust the light when moving from light to dark, so it's basically stuck to the balance of when you turn it on. Is there any change you have fixed this (or maybe know how) in your latest KANG build?

If so, I'm all frickin over it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
you need to calibrate it or your using an app that vigorously takes a beating to a battery haha. i go all the way down to 1% and i got my WiFi on and streaming music.

EDIT: quick update on that here's a picture with my battery and i got around 15Hrs and i was using TuneIn Radio to stream music for a while so here's the screenie's

And i only just start charging it now for about 5 mins. But When i woke up it was still running playing music and i was at 40% battery, so i hopped on GTA3 for 10 mins dropped to 30% and take screenie's of my phone. this is on my 3500mAh from Gorilla Gadgets.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rprockey:
Please try a battery calibration and let us know if resolves the problem.

I'll add that when I reboot my phone mid-discharge, I usually see a increase in my battery remaining percentage, probably around 10 or 15 %. Perhaps it's related?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ceelos09:
By doing so, you would probably run into some FC since CleanGB has traces of TW and CM is AOSP. You'd be better off using TB and restoring only your apps, and *not* data, just to be on the safe side

Anyone know if nightly 6 includes WiMax? I see the file size jumped up a bit.
[Epic 4G Android Development] stilesja:
Experiencing this as well but I kind of like it. It allows me to turn off the soft keys if I want by locking and unlocking then they don't come back on until I press one.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Pibe38:
Seems I'm not the only one...I posted about having this exact same issue one the page before your post.

You're not the only one. Now, whether we are the only ones... I don't know yet.
[Epic 4G Android Development] stilesja:
Don't use nightly 6 nightlys are having problems right now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sonarchist:
Am re-posting this as an FYI........there is a wealth of these such posts on these threads (reading glasses out ;) .........thanks again to the devs listed on OP by UberPinguin for wiMAX.........+ for all you do for the xda community.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mobius360:
I installed the version in this thread yesterday, 4G is working great. I am more or less wondering if WiMax is now added to the nightlys due to the jump in file size. Also if that's where we should be looking for future releases or if it should be in this thread?

I know this isn't the correct forum but right now I'm on nightly 6 and everytime my phone turns off, it boots up and keeps replaying the cyanogen splash. The only way to fix this is factory reset and clear both caches and then reflash.

Has anybody been getting this and would it be fixed if I flash this update of cm7?

I had something similar, and it was linked to the overscroll. Whenever I launched the browser, I would get a static-y overlay for a few seconds before it went away. I changed it from glow to bounce and it hasn't happened since.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DrKaotica:
That's funny I just noticed that too.. I was fully charged so I wiped batt stats and was streaming tune in radio at my desk to kill the batt.. phone turned off when I thought I had about 15% left.. only way I could get it to boot was to plug it in.. so turned it on with charger connected and it started chargng from 0%

It like, violently turned off too it didn't shut down, the screen went black and the music cut off..

I had read that code was missing for wimax but I didn't realize that there were more things broken.

So flashing this version would fix these problems?
[Epic 4G Android Development] fromchaos0646:
My bad. I really didn't read the nightly thread or even this thread on xda. I just check the cyanogen forum and I noticed there was an update so I dled and flashed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
Yes the RC0 in the OP works
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mobius360:
BTW to the CM7 Epic team, thanks for your ridiculous dedication and hard work. I can honestly say that I am in no rush to get a new phone now. I have the upgrade available and thought about the S2 touch or switching to Verizon for the Nexus. I believe I can now wait for some Sprint LTE device's and hopefully be able to stay with unlimited data. That was my issue about switching to Verizon, but the 4G signal on my Xoom is amazing. I can stay within 2GB a month on my Xoom but I have no doubt on my phone I'd have to buy the bigger plans.

quick question I might have missed but when wifi is on the 4g icon is still there but grayed out. The 4g isnt running in the background is it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mobius360:
This WiMax version rocks. Just remember the 4G toggle switch is broken, you have to turn it on through the menus. That is of course if you plan to use 4G.

Sent from my Epic CM7 Android w/Tapatalk
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
No its not running in the background, its been discussed that its broken so just use a toggle widget off the market or go through networks in settings and manually turn it on.

so I take it there's no way to get the dock working through usb using an APP.......and we shouldn't/cant use a different kernel?
[Epic 4G Android Development] sonarchist:
Depends on your 4g signal: am finding that 4gicon will sit grey and as soon as I begin a download it goes green towards the top........other times it appears and disappears, due to signal in my area...............have found 3g let's my battery run longer on wifiHotspot, tho I tend to keep 4g on pretty much all the time.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rprockey:
As far as I know, the apps that enable audio redirection through USB, require specific kernel code. That needed code is in the TW kernels but is not in the CM7 kernel. noobnl took a few attempts at getting the necessary code added but it didn't test out.

It's your phone and you can use whichever kernel you like. But if you do use another kernel post your bugs to that kernels thread, not here.
[Epic 4G Android Development] J3ff:
Thanks,

I use the dock in my car all the time, but I guess in this case it's better to have a nicely working CM7 and just using the headphone output..

[Epic 4G Android Development] agentsparrow:
Strange error that seems ROM related. I'm coding in Eclipse for Android and I use my phone to test programs on. Works fine on CM7 nightly4 with Bushido kernel. Flashed CM7 RC0 with Wimax and Bushido3 and now it doesn't work. Always says installing the apk and success but never launches and the app doesn't show up on the phone. LogCat would say some things like CheckJNI is off, /system not supported in bootclasspath, unable to register all android natives. Not sure if that helps. I can restore my nandroid to the nightly4 with bushido and it works again. No other settings were changed.. Same thing happens just flashing CM7 RC0 with wimax and not a separate kernel.

I am experiencing some major web browser scrolling lag. Any way to improve this, or an alternative browser that would fix the problem? Love this rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jnadke:
Is the call volume a bug? (not on bug list)

When I change the call volume during a call (turn it up), instantly the volume goes way down and sounds like someone is speaking out of a can.

This same thing also happens when I'm in my car. I answer a call on bluetooth, and turn off my car which transitions the call to the normal speaker, but it's distorted same as above.

Also I notice bluetooth is finicky. Doesn't always connect to my Ford Fusion.

Uberpenguin, and everyone else who had a part in getting CM7 functioning on the Epic as well as MTD, Thank you guys, thanks a ton! I know how much has been put into this project and it payed off in the end. I flashed the rom this morning and it is working fine (don't have service on my epic) as far as what I use.
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
Go into preferences and set the app mode near the bottom to the third setting. Its not eiher of the two auto modes and individual restoring will work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] djmeph:
I have the opposite problem, it will be at 75% then go down to like 19% after a reboot. But then the indicator slowly crawls back up. I'm re-calibrating my battery right now. Funny thing is, with CM7 it's not as easy to discharge my battery. :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
Yes, it has been a crazy hurricane of unexpected breakthroughs (from the perspective of the audience, anyway) :)

So what's up, dreams? How is your Nexus treating you?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Decad3nce:
Some fragments of audio routing are a bit borked at the moment due to the fact that we chose the common sound driver over overhauling the userspace audio routing.

Note that you can't properly turn up the in call volume without having the screen on at the moment.

Just in case anyone actually searches the thread before asking about it:

I odin'd to a stockish rom, odin to EC05 modem, cwm the EC05toEI22.zip, updated the PRL while I was there, installed 7.2.0 RC0, and restored the nandroid backup.

Worked like a charm. On EI22 modem, and my signal strength appears better than ever.

Seems pretty good. Only odd thing I've noticed so far.

I'm unable to adjust voice call volume with the phone up to my ear. When I pull it away to simply try to lower it slightly the volume bottoms out and I have to raise it back up again.

Out of curiosity, will this rom work with the 3.5mm tv out... probably not, but wanted to ask

The ROM seems to be working pretty well, though I noticed that google talk is using the rear camera instead of the FFC.

Very nice work on CM7 guys! Congratulations to you all. :D

[Epic 4G Android Development] sureshot007:
And just 3 posts above yours...
[Epic 4G Android Development] jnadke:
No and probably never. Even if we did get it to work, AFAIK it'd be very crappy NTSC (yellow cable) signal with overscan problems etc.

Not sure if TV out on this device ever would be useful. IIRC, it was just a feature of the chip where the audio chip can produce an analog NTSC signal. Samsung never used it because it's not HDMI; it's not a particularly useful feature.

I had asked about this in the other thread, and someone else asked it in this thread and I didn't have a chance to update my findings.

I had cleangb MTD set up and working and wanted to do an advance restore of data after installing CM 7.2. It did not work. It booted fine, but there was continuous FCs.

Titanium backup got my google authenticator and other programs that are a bit of a pain set up running, and by now I have all of my work exchange settings memorized so I just did that manually.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
We don't have HDMI output of any kind, so some tv out would be better than none - it absolutely would be useful. Your point of view is like saying, if you can't have a ferrari, you might as well walk

Right... that's not much different than using Market to restore apps. I like my PRO Ti Backup for it's ability to do batch work bro. I like it so much I paid $$$ for it. I'd really like to know what caused the batch functionality to break.

So here I go capturing the log cat and kmsg just now and DAMN if batch restore isn't working now. WTH. :confused:

Not sure why - but it works now. It seems slower than usual to get the first app installed (and show any progress on dialogue box), but it does work. Restored 2-3 apps at a time even after a fresh reboot. It's working. :)

I noticed there was an update for TB today, did you update it before the most recent trial? I did see something in the release notes from the previous version regarding 'exotic' nandroids or something like that. There's the feature to 'Extract from Nandroid backup' and I'm wondering if anyone has tried that instead of the normal way?

Thought it would be worth a shot. I'm not sure if I'll have the time to get to it tonight, but if no one beats me to it, I'll see what I can do and see if that will work better.

I'm one of the ROM hoppers who took ERA 2.1 and changed the nandroid files to covert to MTD. So, I'm now ERA 2.1 with MTD, and am looking to move to CM7 soon, but really don't want to lose data for only about a handful of apps.
